Home for the night. Another lakeside site all to ourselves. No problems on the Sierra passes today and now we're poised for a beautiful week meandering down Hwy 395. #airstream #liveriveted #homeiswhereyouparkit #eastside #easternsierras #topazlake A photo posted by David Zimmerman (@advodna_dave) on Jan 25, 2015 at 5:06pm PST

Single skillet meals work great in the Airstream. Tonight we pulled into camp at 4:30 and preheated the oven to 350 before doing anything else. As Ann put the baby down for a final nap, I tossed three pork chops drizzled with a little oil and vinegar salad dressing and soy sauce and some potatoes in the 12" cast iron with a lid and set a timer for 30 mins. Then Wynne and I unhitched the trailer and fed the Iron Ranger while discussing why we shouldn't reach our hands into the long metal pipes used as site dividers. When the timer went off, I moved the skilled to high heat on the stovetop to brown the chops and potatoes (flip the chops one time and mix taters up) and added broccoli and red peppers to steam on top of everything for five minutes or so. An hour after pulling in, dinner was ready! #airstreamkitchen #oneskilletmeal #castiron #heavybutworthit A photo posted by David Zimmerman (@advodna_dave) on Jan 25, 2015 at 8:03pm PST

After three cold nights and limited sun, Dave said we needed to start conserving some power. Wynne and I decided to heat the Airstream via chocolate chip, almond flour cookies. Recipe thanks to either @wandering_amanda or @aluminarium Leigh... can't remember . They've been a fave though! Next up, granola. #warmththroughbaking #ihopethesunnevercomesout A photo posted by Ann Zimmerman (@advodna_ann) on Jan 26, 2015 at 10:19am PST

As @advodna_ann posted, we've been dry camping for three nights with limited winter sun (and generous evening inverter use to watch the new season of Downton Abbey through our grandfathered unlimited Verizon data plan!) and our two Trojan T-145's are running low. Time to tilt the panels (and clean them off!), pull out the portable panel and see what we can get from this low angle sun. #airstream #liveriveted #topazlake #easternsierras #solar A photo posted by David Zimmerman (@advodna_dave) on Jan 26, 2015 at 10:33am PST

Always blown away by the Eastern Sierras. Making our way to Mommoth Lakes today. This isn't even close to the most dramatic vista we've seen today. More to come... #liverivited #airstream #ontheroadagain A photo posted by Ann Zimmerman (@advodna_ann) on Jan 26, 2015 at 3:21pm PST

We decided that when we got to Mono Lake, we'd evaluate our power situation. By this overlook, we'd picked up about 50 amp hours, but that still found us at just over 50%. With a forecast of some weather bringing cold and clouds over the next few days, we decided the best plan was to head for Mammoth Lakes and a site with hookups to recharge for boondocking further south. #airstream #liveriveted #monolake #easternsierras A photo posted by David Zimmerman (@advodna_dave) on Jan 26, 2015 at 8:08pm PST

More Eastern Sierra drama. The drop down to Mono Lake is insane. Literally feels like the top of the world. #monolake #easternsierra #breathtaking A photo posted by Ann Zimmerman (@advodna_ann) on Jan 26, 2015 at 8:24pm PST

Woke up to snow on the trailer this morning after running out of propane on one tank in the middle of the night. But just down the mountain and back on 395, there's blue sky as we continue south towards Lone Pine. A photo posted by David Zimmerman (@advodna_dave) on Jan 27, 2015 at 2:38pm PST
